Chapter 155: Did you forget You killed me.
Chapter 155
Zhou Qichen smiled and patted Qin Vice General's shoulder, expressing his approval.
"From today on, you are no longer Qin Vice General. You are General Qin, the commander of an army! I will immediately issue an edict to restore your status as a general!"
"Well then, I won't keep you from your drinks any longer."
Seeing that Zhou Qichen was eager to catch up with General Qin, the Elder Princess decided not to say more and let the two men head back.
Tomorrow morning, her edict would be issued.
The people of Plague City would know that they had gained another General Qin!
As the two generals walked away, Zhou Qichen's booming voice could still be heard.
"Old Qin, I recently took on an apprentice. His strength is incredible, let me tell you, haha..."
Since Plague City had gradually developed its economy, merchants traveling to and from the city had also increased.
News of the imperial soldiers surrendering to the Elder Princess spread to various cities at lightning speed the next day, causing an uproar among the people!
Pei Changying was so furious that he didn't even attend court that day, instead smashing things in Xuyang Palace to vent his anger.
"Pei Weiqi! I will have you torn to pieces! You dare overturn the rules set by our ancestors? Since ancient times, how could a woman become emperor!"
"When you die, how will you face the Pei family ancestors!"
"Fallen woman! I should have killed you back then!"
"Crash! Bang!"
"Gu Sang! I have already repented, I've already apologized to you, why don't you believe me? If it weren't for your help, how would that fallen woman dare to rebel! How would that traitor Qin dare to betray me!"
"Gu Sang!!! Give me an explanation!"
"Gu Sang! Explain yourself to me!"
*Ding!*
*Connection is being established!*
Pei Changying's hand paused mid-smash.
Here it comes!
Again, that eerily strange sound!
Every time this sound appeared, Gu Sang would appear on the screen the next second.
Seeing Gu Sang wearing a spaghetti strap nightgown that exposed her shoulders, Pei Changying's eyes flickered slightly, a deep possessiveness flashing in their depths.
But he had learned his lesson and didn't immediately scold Gu Sang for her inappropriate attire.
After all, in that future world, wearing such clothes was too normal!
Seeing that Gu Sang didn't take the initiative to speak to him, Pei Changying began in an angry tone: "Gu Sang! Shouldn't you explain to me what has happened these past few days?"
"Why does that fallen woman have things like cannons? Why did the imperial army surrender to her? Why did the troops I sent to Liujiang City to eliminate that fallen woman return empty-handed?"
"Why did potatoes suddenly appear in Plague City? Why?!"
Pei Changying's furious eyes reflected Gu Sang's face, which showed not a hint of guilt. She was so calm, calmly watching him rage impotently.
Then, Gu Sang said flatly: "My task is to help Pei Weiqi. This is all part of the mission requirements."
In truth, Pei Changying wasn't completely ignorant of Gu Sang's thoughts, he just didn't want to admit it.
He wanted to hear Gu Sang make excuses or apologize to him personally, then promise never to help the Elder Princess again.
But Gu Sang showed no sign of remorse, even adopting an indifferent attitude.
She didn't even bother to try and placate him!
This enraged Pei Changying, who glared at Gu Sang and laughed coldly: "Gu Sang, do you take me for a fool? It's because I love you that I've given you chance after chance to redeem yourself."
"If it were anyone else who dared to deceive me like this, I would have already executed their entire clan!"
"You have truly disappointed me to the core. I will never believe another word you say."
"Unless, unless you help me develop cannons right now, as well as those unmanned aircraft and missiles from your future! Otherwise, I will not forgive you."
"Pfft—" Gu Sang burst out laughing.
She shouldn't have laughed in such a serious situation.
But, but hearing Pei Changying's fantastical words, Gu Sang couldn't help it, laughing so hard she doubled over.
"Hahaha, listen to yourself! Is that even human speech?"
"Pei Changying, you really have some nerve!"
"Do you have any sense of your own abilities? Cannons? Missiles? Even if I gave you all the materials, you couldn't make them! I'm not looking down on you, oh wait, yes I am looking down on you!"
Pei Changying had never been laughed at like this before. He was the noble ruler of the world, who would dare mock him!
Seeing Gu Sang's merciless mockery, every word expressing her disdain for him, Pei Changying's anger turned to laughter, his face dark, the smile not reaching his eyes.
"Gu Sang, I will make you regret this!"
"Bring Consort Li here!"
Seeing Gu Sang's smile slowly fade, Pei Changying's face remained ashen.
He was still furious about Gu Sang's betrayal, yet the words that came out of his mouth suddenly became deeply affectionate. If one didn't see his twisted expression, they might think he was confessing to his beloved.
"Sang Sang, what will it take for you to return to my side?"
"I don't believe that everything from before, when we were together, when you helped me so wholeheartedly, was all fake! How could you not have me in your heart!"
"Sang Sang, as long as you come back, whatever you want, I'll give it to you!"
"I will take your hand and share this vast empire with you."
Gu Sang stared coldly at Pei Changying as he confessed his love, showing no reaction.
Pei Changying finally snapped!
After Consort Li was brought in by the eunuchs.
Pei Changying immediately grabbed Consort Li by the throat.
Consort Li let out a painful scream, her pupils dilating, her struggling hands gradually weakening.
"Pei Changying! You think this will intimidate me?"
"You only use women to show off your masculinity. If you have the guts, go after the Elder Princess. What does bullying your women prove?"
Pei Changying laughed darkly: "Hehe, Gu Sang, are you getting anxious? Are you angry? Do you feel the despair?"
"If you come back, you can save her from my hands."
"But you don't dare come back! Hmph, it seems that even the kind and righteous you is nothing more than a selfish person."
Pei Changying suddenly released Consort Li, glaring viciously at the screen.
He was using his words to provoke Gu Sang, hoping to make her return.
He had nearly strangled Consort Li to death, but Gu Sang didn't immediately try to stop him. This made him clearly understand one thing: perhaps Gu Sang really didn't care about Consort Li's life?
No!
She cares, she's just pretending!
Pei Changying cast a disdainful glance at Consort Li, who lay crumpled on the ground, gasping for air.
During this time, he had assigned countless palace maids to watch over Consort Li, fearing she might become a second Consort Zhao. He was even more afraid that Gu Sang would help Consort Li escape behind his back!
As long as Consort Li was here, Gu Sang would certainly find a way to return!
Gu Sang stared at Pei Changying with an expressionless face, her eyes showing no trace of deception: "Whether you believe it or not, I truly cannot return."
"I don't belong to your world!"
"Even if we take a step back and assume I could return, how would I do it? The body of Noble Consort Gu has already died. I am already dead!"
"Pei Changying, you were the one who killed me, have you forgotten? I can't come back anymore."
